Spent a few hours this morning off Rockcliffe Parkway Ottawa and observed 3 Great Gray Owls along the previously reported property. See link for image taken this am.

Exit at the Montreal Road exit. Turn right at St Joseph Blvd. Continue along St Joseph Blvd. until you come to the lights where you turn left onto the Rockcliffe Parkway (at this intersection on St Joseph Blvd., the Rockcliffe Parkway is on the left and Bearbrook Road is to the right). Continue along the Rockcliffe Parkway. The first bridge you cross is the one going over the highway. Continue quite a ways along and the second bridge you see is the one that crosses over Green's Creek. The owls are located in the field on the left side of that bridge. It is public NCC park land so open to all. However, do not park alongside the road there or you may get ticketed. Instead, drive 1 kilometer past that spot and park at parking lot P8 on your left. Then walk back to the bridge. Paul O'Toole Kingston _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists - the provincial birding organization.
